Suddenly, a bright light illuminated the entire cabin.
The man hurriedly covered his face and rushed out of the door.
Shen Jianyi and Lu Jinsheng followed closely. They heard a "plop" as the man jumped into the water. After a splash of waves, he disappeared behind the cruise ship.
"Are you okay?"
Shen Jianyi shook her head and wrapped her pajamas tightly around herself.
"Shall we send someone to chase him?"
"No need."
Seeing Shen Jianyi looking at him doubtfully, Lu Jinsheng said, "It's windy outside. Let's go in."
Lying in the comfortable bed again, Shen Jianyi couldn't fall asleep anymore.
"Do you know who sent the assassin after you?"
"My uncle and my little uncle are both eyeing the inheritance rights of the Lu family covetously. I won't be surprised if either of them sent someone to kill me."
In the darkness, Lu Jinsheng's voice sounded a bit sad. Shen Jianyi was silent for a few seconds and then heard him continue, "But I won't just sit back and wait for death."
"How's your dad?"
"Are you concerned about me?"
Shen Jianyi's sudden concern made Lu Jinsheng stunned for a moment. He turned his face and saw her bright eyes looking at him. They were like stars in the dark night.
When their eyes met, Shen Jianyi immediately turned her face away.
Her breathing had unconsciously become rapid.
This damned man!
"He's not my dad. He's just the master of the Lu family. He won't die anytime soon."
Lu Jinsheng's words were cold, but to Shen Jianyi, they sounded more like desolation.
This was the first time she had seen Lu Jinsheng so gentle. At this moment, he didn't have the might and grandeur he showed in front of others during the day. Instead, he was like a frightened little animal. Such a side of him actually made her feel an urge to pity him.
At this moment—
Suddenly, Lu Jinsheng propped up his head and looked at Shen Jianyi with a faint smile.
Oh my god!
She actually wanted to pity him!
She must be crazy!
"What are you doing?"
The girl in the bed warily pulled the quilt up a bit, leaving only a pair of fearless eyes to stare at Lu Jinsheng. But only she knew that her heart was pounding wildly as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
This was the first time she had seen Lu Jinsheng wearing something other than a suit. He was wearing a high - end silver - threaded white T - shirt with a low neckline, revealing his fair skin.
He just stared at her motionlessly with a burning look in his eyes.
Actually, since Shen Jianyi entered this cabin, he had been suppressing himself, slightly drunk as he was.
He was afraid that if he was too hasty, he would scare her.
At this moment, he could finally take a good look at Shen Jianyi. Her thick and slender eyelashes fluttered. There was a faint anger on her cute little face. Her black curly hair was casually scattered on the pillow, and the air was filled with her sweet scent.
Lu Jinsheng tried to control himself with his last bit of reason.
"Although I forced you to marry me, I'm still very happy."
After saying that, Lu Jinsheng finally couldn't control his inner impulse. He lowered his head and kissed her lips.
He originally intended just a light kiss, but his hand involuntarily reached under her neck.
In the passionate and lingering kiss, Lu Jinsheng felt the girl beneath him respond.
He threw the quilt aside. Her beautiful figure became even more seductive because of Shen Jianyi's involuntary movements. He couldn't hold back any longer and pulled her tightly into his arms...
It was a night of passion.
When Shen Jianyi woke up again, she was shocked by herself. She was like an octopus, tightly clinging to Lu Jinsheng. One of her hands was on his neck, and one of her legs was pressed under his. The position couldn't have been more intimate.
Oh my god!
What had she done!
It must be the effect of the alcohol!
Otherwise, she couldn't have... with Lu Jinsheng.
Aaaah!
Shen Jianyi felt like she was going crazy. She quickly withdrew her hands and feet, put on her clothes as fast as she could, and fled.
Lu Jinsheng, who had been lying in bed motionless as if in a deep sleep, opened his eyes at this moment. He stretched lazily and stared at the white ceiling with a smile on his lips.
He knew that Shen Jianyi liked him in her heart!
On the sun - lit deck, the woman in a dress paced back and forth restlessly. Finally, she accepted the fact that she had slept with Lu Jinsheng.
She slumped weakly on the railing, but in her mind, the scenes from last night automatically played back. Lu Jinsheng's warm and strong hands, the perfect strength, and the tenderness that seemed to want to meld her into his body...
Oh my god, Shen Jianyi felt like she was really addicted to him.
"Don't worry. I'll take responsibility for you."
The familiar voice came with the sea breeze, but Shen Jianyi didn't want to turn around to look at him.
At this moment, Lu Jinsheng was wearing a simple and loose white shirt and blue jeans. This outfit made him look more in line with his age. He had an air of a campus heartthrob and looked very refreshing.
He walked to Shen Jianyi's side and leaned on the railing like her.
"I brought you breakfast. Eat it quickly."
"I won't eat."
Shen Jianyi was stubborn, but her stomach betrayed her with a loud growl.
"Be obedient and eat quickly."
Hearing Lu Jinsheng's words that sounded like those of a domineering CEO but without the domineering tone, a warm current involuntarily surged in Shen Jianyi's heart.
She took the plate he handed over. There were bread, bacon, and a few small tomatoes on it.
"I have something I'd like you to help with. Okay?"
Shen Jianyi turned her face away, not looking at him.
The huge cruise ship set sail again on the sea. It was said that this time it was heading to Puji Island on the other side of the coast. The family gatherings of these big families were always extravagant.
It was still a day's journey to Puji Island.
In the evening, the dinner party was held on the open - air second floor. Shen Jianyi followed Lu Jinsheng and got to know some of the Lu family's relatives. Then she went straight to the deck in the corner.
As long as she could stay away from those hypocritical people of the Lu family, Shen Jianyi didn't mind spending the whole day on the deck in the wind.
"Miss Shen."
Lu Suowei, who was standing on the other side of the deck, saw Shen Jianyi. Today she was only wearing a white dress. Her delicate and flower - like face was natural, giving her an air of freshness and elegance.
"Hello, Uncle." Shen Jianyi turned around and forced a rather unnatural smile. This was also the first time she had talked to Lu Suowei.
"I didn't see you and Jinsheng at the banquet last night. I wanted to chat with you guys more, but I didn't want to disturb you newlyweds. Finally, I can get to know you properly today."
Lu Suowei in front of her was wearing a black suit. He was speaking politely with his trademark amiable expression on his face. But the air on his eyebrows that was not much different from Lu Ziqian's reminded Shen Jianyi that this old guy was not that kind - hearted.
"What do you do for a living, Miss Shen?"
Shen Jianyi smiled sweetly and said, "Uncle, aren't you a bit too concerned about me?"
